Abstract The term Blue Carbon (BC) was first coined a decade ago to describe the
disproportionately large contribution of coastal vegetated ecosystems to global carbon …

Seagrass meadows provide multiple ecosystem services, yet they are among the most
threatened ecosystems on earth. Because of their role as carbon sinks, protection and …

Globally, seagrass ecosystems are considered major blue carbon sinks and thus indirect
contributors to climate change mitigation. Quantitative estimates and multi-scale appraisals …

Seagrass meadows are considered important natural carbon sinks due to their capacity to
store organic carbon (Corg) in sediments. However, the spatial heterogeneity of carbon …

Despite the importance of coastal ecosystems for the global carbon budgets, knowledge of
their carbon storage capacity and the factors driving variability in storage capacity is still …

Seagrass ecosystems are important natural carbon sinks but their efficiency varies greatly
depending on species composition and environmental conditions. What causes this …

Most information on seagrass carbon burial derives from point measurements, which are
sometimes scaled by meadow area to estimate carbon stocks; however, sediment organic …

We investigated the influence of seagrass canopies on the benthic biodiversity of bacteria
and macroinvertebrates in a Red Sea tropical lagoon. Changes in abundance, number of …

Seagrass meadows constitute important carbon sinks, and the ongoing global loss of
seagrass habitats raises concerns about the release of carbon stored in their sediments …

There is increasing urgency to implement climate change mitigation strategies that enhance
greenhouse gas removal from the atmosphere and reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions …
